Bodega Catena Zapata 'Catena' Malbec 2014 Review

Exactly what is expected of benchmark Malbec, if without the layers and distinction that come with Catena's higher-end examples. Blackberry, vanilla, violet, and a bit of spice and bitter herbs on the finish. If you have a choice of value-driven Malbecs, pick this one.
